Morgan Dewdney ’19 of Meriden, N.H., was already interested in economic consulting when he started a summer internship at Analysis Group, a Boston-based firm.

At Analysis Group, which as a core employer in the �ֲ���ý Purposeful Work internship program prioritizes hiring �ֲ���ý interns each summer, Dewdney got an in-depth look at the field as he worked on an analysis for an antitrust case — and discovered he liked working as part of a team.

“The collaborative nature of the work and of this specific analysis I did is something that I’ll remember and take away with me,” Dewdney said.  

As its name suggests, Analysis Group provides analysis and expertise to businesses and agencies in a variety of fields, and often in litigation cases.

For example, a current project involves helping distributors and manufacturers of opioid medications identify theft and abuse. In 2015, the firm provided statistical analysis to support the NFL Players Association in its winning appeal of Tom Brady’s “Deflategate” suspension in district court (the suspension was later reinstated by an appeals court.)

“If you want to apply those skills you learn at school in a real-world environment for clients working on real cases, there’s really no better outlet than a place like Analysis Group.”

The firm has strong ties to �ֲ���ý: Its co-founder, Trustee Emeritus Bruce Stangle ’70, has mentored countless �ֲ���ý students who are interested in business, and the Alumni Association’s Stangle Award for Distinguished Service is named after him.

Dewdney, along with fellow �ֲ���ý interns Alexia Sahue ’19 of Abidjan, Côte D’Ivoire, and Michael Somma ’19 of Colts Neck, N.J., found that their work directly contributed to AG’s cases. Here, Sahue, Somma, and Dewdney talk about what they do as AG interns and what makes their work meaningful.

What appealed to you about interning for Analysis Group?

Morgan Dewdney: I heard about Analysis Group from the �ֲ���ý Career Development Center. I really liked all the aspects of the company that were given to me by the BCDC and from what I could read online. It seemed like �ֲ���ý had a really strong tie with this company. That was really was what piqued my interest.

Michael Somma: Taking economics classes at �ֲ���ý set the precedent for this experience. If you’re very interested in economic theories, statistics, and econometrics, and want to apply those skills you learn at school in a real-world environment for clients working on real cases, there’s really no better outlet than a place like Analysis Group.

Alexia Sahue: What made me really excited about working at AG was the opportunity to work with people who are as smart as or smarter than you are. This is something that AG emphasizes every single time there is an informational session at �ֲ���ý — you’re really surrounded by people who are learning so much on a daily basis.

What was it like to apply for the internship?

AS: I applied to Analysis Group when I was studying in China in the fall. My interviews were through Skype. I did not get the chance to actually meet anyone here until January, when I got back to the U.S. and was invited for a lunch. People got to know me, which is something that I think is very specific about AG  — they’re really interested in getting to know you as a person. It was great for me to feel like people were interested in knowing my story, where I was coming from, what my dreams were, and how I will be a best fit at AG.

What do you do day-to-day for AG?

MD: My case right now is an antitrust case. Day to day, it’s a lot of data analysis — working with different statistical programs, and then taking that data and creating client-ready exhibits, graphs, and charts.

MS: I’ve been doing data analysis for a healthcare litigation case.

As a college student, you may not think that you have a lot to add to such a big company. But some of our experts are actually using the work that we are doing in litigation cases.

AS: I’m working on a litigation case in the healthcare practice area, paired with a little bit of antitrust. I’m doing mainly quantitative work with a different language coding. I’m actually working on a new one right now called SAS that I never used at �ֲ���ý. It’s been a long process into learning it, but it’s great that I’m able to use different types of language codes.

How does the cycle of work and feedback at a company compare to that of an academic course?

MS: It’s just as rewarding as getting a good grade in school — your case manager saying, ‘That was a really good idea; I’ve never even thought about it that way.’

What do you like most about interning for AG?

AS: As a college student, you may not think that you have a lot to add to such a big company. But some of our experts are actually using the work that we are doing in litigation cases. There is such an emphasis on the strength of each individual regardless of their background, regardless of their age, of their race, and so on. AG is amazing at doing that.

Was there a moment when you realized that you found consulting work meaningful?

MD: There was one analysis that my case team was working on, a pivotal analysis for our case. I didn’t actually create the exhibit that’s going to go out, but I did the initial filtering of the data, compiling a document that then led to the analysis.

On the one hand, I saw all this data and then helped filter it in a way that can be understood by a lot of people who don’t necessarily have an economics background. Then I experienced the teamwork aspect — I created the first document that filtered into this analysis, then another case team member actually did the analysis, and then another case team member created the exhibit. The collaborative nature of the work and of this specific analysis, I think, is something that I’ll remember and take away with me.

MS: The moment when I thought, ‘Wow, I actually really like this,’ was when I took an analysis from start to finish, completely on my own. It was actually a pretty big part of the case, and it’s in the process of being sent over to the lawyers. That was a pretty big moment.

What does Purposeful Work mean to you?

MD: My initial reaction to Purposeful Work was something that was purposeful for the greater good, so maybe more community service–based. It has that aspect, and that’s a really important aspect, but it’s also purposeful for you individually — doing work and having this internship exposed me to the whole consulting field, and has really shown me that I actually really do enjoy it. That’s the purposeful aspect of it.

A newly endowed scholarship fund at �ֲ���ý honors retired �ֲ���ý coach Jim Murphy ’69, one of the winningest coaches and athletes in �ֲ���ý history, in terms of both victories and spirit.

A successful fundraising effort led by three �ֲ���ý alumni has created an endowed scholarship fund honoring James P. Murphy ’69, the celebrated coach of women’s basketball and soccer who retired in 2015, announced Sarah R. Pearson ’75, vice president for college advancement.

Trustees emeriti Steve Brown ’69 and Bruce Stangle ’70, P’96 and fellow alumnus Tom Lopez ’69 organized the outreach effort to former teammates, players, and classmates of Murphy’s that, to date, has raised more than $130,000.

“From start to finish, these �ֲ���ý leaders made it happen,” Pearson said. “They created the game plan and executed it to perfection.” The new scholarship will provide annual need-based financial aid to a �ֲ���ý student, with preference to a Maine student. The first Murphy Scholar will be named in 2016–17.

The fund honors one of the winningest coaches and athletes in �ֲ���ý history, in terms of both victories and spirit.

In 21 seasons as basketball coach, Murphy’s teams won 343 games and lost 187, earning six NCAA tourney appearances. His soccer teams went 146–93–13 over 16 seasons, winning the 2005 NESCAC title and earning NCAA bids in 1996, 1997, and 2005.

Murphy’s contributions to �ֲ���ý athletics and athletes go beyond the numbers, says Stangle.

“Both the fund and the team effort behind its creation honor Jim’s selfless contributions to �ֲ���ý athletics, pursuit of team goals, and intensity of effort,” Stangle says. “It will be a perpetual memorial to Jim at a place he loves.”

Murphy, adds Stangle, “embodies the quintessential �ֲ���ý characteristics of personal integrity and strength. He was the best student-athlete of his generation at �ֲ���ý. He knew how to take apart another team and also how to get the best out of his teammates. He was an immensely gifted athlete who made everyone around him better. He has a positive approach to everything he does in life, and people absolutely adore him.”

“The admiration and respect his players have for him still speak volumes.”

Brown, a football teammate of Murphy’s in the 1960s, says playing with him was “like having another coach on the field,” adding that “Jim was not only an outstanding performer, but also a great leader: selfless, humble, and focused. Honors and tributes have never interested him.”

As a coach of young women at �ֲ���ý in soccer and basketball, “no one at �ֲ���ý comes close to his record of success,” Brown notes. “The admiration and respect his players have for him still speak volumes.”

Katie Franklin ’07 says that Murphy (left, seated) “pushed me to become physically stronger and mentally tougher” while also instilling the “importance of patience, integrity, and modesty.” (Phyllis Graber Jensen/�ֲ���ý College)

Lopez, who was also a football teammate of Murphy’s, says that donors responded to the chance to pay tribute to a beloved �ֲ���ý contemporary. “Scores of former classmates and teammates from the late ’60s and early ’70s have contributed because of their respect for Jim and their love of �ֲ���ý,” says Lopez.

Katie Franklin ’07, captain of the 2006–07 women’s basketball team, returned to campus in November and joined with former players, parents, and friends to pay tribute to Murphy.

Franklin, a two-time First Team All-NESCAC honoree and an Academic All-America in softball, says she’s proud to support the Murphy Scholarship Fund because he provided her with “invaluable lessons about giving and receiving critical feedback, what it means to be humble in both wins and losses, and most importantly what it means to give it your all for the greater good of the team.”

“He will always be a role model in my life.”

Franklin, an associate with Analysis Group, an economic consulting firm chaired and co-founded by Stangle, adds that “Coach Murphy instilled in me a work ethic and commitment to the team that I have carried from Alumni Gymnasium into my professional career.”

Her coach also “pushed me to become physically stronger and mentally tougher, while simultaneously teaching me the importance of patience, integrity, and modesty,” she adds. “He will always be a role model in my life.”

Murphy, who returned to his alma mater in 1994 to lead the women’s varsity soccer and basketball programs, attended �ֲ���ý at a time when he and his family “didn’t have two nickels,” he says.

�ֲ���ý financial aid made it possible, says Murphy, who is moved by the honor of having a scholarship established in his name.

“To know that a Maine student who might not otherwise be able to attend �ֲ���ý will now have the opportunity. It’s very meaningful,” he says.

Just as important, says Murphy, are the relationships behind the scholarship.

“It’s amazing. The friendships that started at �ֲ���ý and have been sustained by �ֲ���ý all these years — people who know they can always rely on me and would do the same for me — it’s pretty special.”

Andy Kageleiry ’12

The Lewiston Sun Journal reported on a campus talk by Andy Kageleiry ’12, a senior analyst with the consulting firm to support the appeal of New England quarterback Tom Brady’s four-game suspension.

The NFL had tried to suspend Brady for allegedly being part of a scheme to use intentionally deflated, and thus easier to handle, footballs last season, specifically in a Jan. 18 playoff game vs. the Indianapolis Colts.

Andy Kageleiry ’12 of Analysis Group gives a talk on Sept. 30 at �ֲ���ý about “Deflategate: Assessing the Quality of the NFL’s Statistical Evidence.” (Phyllis Graber Jensen/�ֲ���ý College)

Brady and the NFLPA won the appeal, as we know.

And while U.S. District Court Judge Richard M. Berman’s ruling to vacate the suspension did not address whether or not the balls were tampered with, the experts put onto the case by Analysis Group, according to the Sun Journal story, did offer an answer.

They “were able to demonstrate, through statistical reasoning, that the Patriots balls may have shown less PSI mainly because their balls were tested minutes — and possibly several minutes — before the Colts’ balls were examined.”

The story quotes Kageleiry, a magna cum laude economics major, saying that the whole experience was “kind of a fun case. Kind of an unusual case.”

Analysis Group’s chairman and cofounder is Bruce Stangle ’70, and the talk was sponsored by the Department of Economics.

that “plenty of people loathe the New England Patriots. Plenty of them would love to rub DeflateGate in Tom Brady’s face.

“But none, perhaps, have taken it to the extreme that Indy native Mike Lieber has — starting a full-fledged company whose mission statement is, as he puts it, ‘to really tweak the Patriots.'”

Lieber, a lawyer and litigator in Chicago by day, partnered with fellow alumnus Quoc Tran ’95 on the sideline business selling hats, T-shirts, and other gear that mocks the Patriots.

“I’ve been waiting 25 years.”

Reporter Dana Hunsinger Benbow reports that the crucible of attending �ֲ���ý also motivated Lieber.

As a �ֲ���ý student, he was razzed by New Englanders “every time the Boston Celtics beat the Indiana Pacers or the Patriots beat the Colts.”

Lieber tells her that “I’ve been waiting 25 years for my revenge and it’s finally here.”

Ross Brockman ’11

Brockman, who cofounded Downeast Cider House, as the company grows and as he can’t be as hands-on as he once was.

“It’s weird the first time you have an employee. I was like, ‘I don’t know if I trust someone else to sweep the floor. I do it certain way.”

Still, he and the company want to keep it real.

“The typical picture on social media of, like, a can of cider on the beach — that’s boring. It’s not us,” he tells the Globe. “I’d rather hear an inside story about the company or see something real. I hate lying to people. It feels disgusting to be corny. Sometimes it gets us into trouble, because I’m too honest and I say too much, but that’s just my personality.”

In 2014, the Downeast leadership — Tyler Mosher ’11, Brockman, and his brother Matt ’08  — were named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the Food and Wine category. Based in Charlestown, Mass., the company recently announced it would open a new production facility in East Boston.

Rebecca Fraser-Thill

Advice for budding entrepreneurs on how to face criticism includes a tip from psychology faculty member Rebecca Fraser-Thill, director of program design for the Purposeful Work initiative at �ֲ���ý.

Fraser-Thrill tells Huffington Post blogger Kenny Kline that the people who most dread being criticized are often the quickest to judge other people. So if you’re less focused on being critical of others, their criticism will have less impact on you in general.

Nick Mazuroski ’09

Nick Mazuroski and a business partner founded the year-old Rwanda Bean Co., a coffee bean wholesaler.

Portland Press Herald video reporter Susan Kimball says that “by buying coffee beans directly from a farmer’s cooperative in the western Rwandan province of Karora, they cut out the middleman coffee broker and pay the farmers more.”

Kimball notes that Mazuroski and his partner and friend Mike Mwenedata, a survivor of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda who came to the U.S. in 2009, have also “pledged to return 50 percent of the company’s profits to the farming community to support local schools, health care, and clean water.”

James Reuter ’75

The Bethel Citizen writes about two local bicyclists including Jim Reuter ’75, in the 2015 Paris-Brest-Paris Randonneur.

The PBP attracts some 6,000 bicyclists, who ride more than 1,230 kilometers over four days. Reuter tells the newspaper that some of the strongest participants were the oldest.

“The oldest finisher was an 80-year-old Frenchman,” he tells the paper, adding that “I think, especially for endurance events, being older is only an asset. You gain so much wisdom as you age, and you come to know your own body better, and what it can do.”

�ֲ���ý and Koru

First Round Review, in an article advising firms to look past traditional markers like GPA in their hiring practices, shares a telling anecdote about a �ֲ���ý graduate who was just OK on paper but turned out to be a great hire.

The article, “,” quotes Kristen Hamilton, the co-founder and CEO of Koru, an immersive business-training program designed for young job seekers that �ֲ���ý partnered with in 2014.

The article’s premise is that promising job candidates often turn out to be paper tigers, so “it’s time to rethink what qualities actually make someone a great employee.”

Hamilton tells the story of the �ֲ���ý alumnus who worked with Koru. A rhetoric major with no business experience, he had lived in the woods on his own wits “but he wouldn’t have known that he could translate that into something that would be exciting for a software company.”

After completing Koru’s training program and learning how those experiences and his liberal arts education can be marketable job skills, he is now in sales at Smartsheet, “and he’s nailing it,” the article says.

Jimmy Lathrop ’94

In a Q&A with the Jimmy Lathrop talks about the joys and pressures of solo practice in the Park Slope neighborhood.

A litigator, his areas include real estate, foreclosure defense, elder law, guardianship proceedings and landlord/tenant issues. He likes the fast pace of his work. “Anywhere else you’d be like a Ferrari stuck in traffic,” he says.

“Here you hit the ground running. There is no shortage of people with problems in Brooklyn so there is never a lack of work. It’s a real thrill because you can spend every day in court on trial going full speed as much as you want.”

Lathrop has been recognized for his pro bono work from the Brooklyn Bar Association and received a Distinguished Service Award from the BBA in 2011.

“If you’ve been interested in hearing how entrepreneurs grab attention and funding for their start-up, for a prototype for a product or the development of an app, this is a must-see competition,” says Mike Mulach ’17, an organizer of the April 4 business pitch throw-down at �ֲ���ý.

Bobcat Ventures, a student organization dedicated to entrepreneurship, is sponsoring the competition for prizes of $5,000 or more starting at noon Saturday in the Edmund S. Muskie Archives, 70 Campus Ave. Please RSVP at this link:

Featuring 11 student teams who will make brief entrepreneurial pitches to a panel of alumni judges, the event begins with a keynote address by entrepreneur Matt Perejda ’14. The competition winner will be announced around 3 p.m.

Each team comprises up to four members, and each pitch will last 10 minutes or less, explains Mulach, a member of Bobcat Ventures from Rocky River, Ohio.

“The pace will be lively, the ideas will be fascinating and there’s serious cash at stake,” he says, likening the event to ABC-TV’s “Shark Tank.”

As a student, Perejda, the event’s keynote speaker, launched Bobcat Den Delivery, a successful college-based startup that sells and delivers late-evening snacks and meals from the college’s Dining Services operation to �ֲ���ý students on campus.

Here are the alumni judges:

•    Ross Brockman ’11, co-founder of the craft cider brewery Downeast Ciderhouse, who was named one of “30 Under 30” by Forbes magazine;

The competition’s case prizes are underwritten by sponsors including Bruce Stangle ’70, chair and co-founder of the Boston-based consulting firm Analysis Group Inc. and a longtime supporter and mentor of students interested in entrepreneurship.

Other members of Bobcat Ventures are Michelle Pham ’15 of Vancouver, British Columbia; Rokya Samake ’15 of New York City; Creighton Foulkes ’17 of Belmont, Mass.; Phathutshedzo Rambau ’17 of Morebeng, South Africa; and Shanina van Gent ’18 of Maassluis, Netherlands.

The Stangle family, synonymous with leadership and philanthropy at �ֲ���ý, has made a significant new commitment of $750,000 to the college.

With this gift, Bruce Stangle ’70 and his wife, Emily Siegel Stangle ’72, join the multimillion dollar Catalyst Fund effort supporting major strategic initiatives at �ֲ���ý.

“�ֲ���ý is a jewel of a school,” said Bruce Stangle during a recent campus visit to speak in the Voices in Entrepreneurship Series. “For over 150 years it’s been training leaders. The people who graduate from �ֲ���ý make a real difference in the world, and that’s an important mission that we want to support.”

The Stangles’ gift to the Catalyst Fund, he added, is a “public show of support for what President Spencer is trying to do. She has a very tough job, and we want to lend our shoulder and financial resources to help her and help �ֲ���ý move forward.”

The Catalyst Fund supports three college initiatives:

+The Engaged Liberal Arts: Deep and sustained interactions

+Purposeful Work: The heart of the liberal arts mission

+Opportunity and Excellence: Directly out of �ֲ���ý’ history and mission

“The Stangles’ gift is invaluable,” said President Clayton Spencer. “It provides much-needed support for students and faculty alike, and is an important endorsement of our strategic direction. I am profoundly thankful to them.”

Sarah R. Pearson ’75, vice president for college advancement, said that this “generous gift helps us raise our sights for �ֲ���ý and demonstrates the importance of the Catalyst Fund in providing new momentum in philanthropy.”

“Incredible value to its graduates.”

An English major at �ֲ���ý who holds a Ph.D. in applied economics from the MIT Sloan School of Management, Stangle is the co-founder of , the nation’s largest private economic consulting firm.

“I love �ֲ���ý and believe that �ֲ���ý delivers incredible value to its graduates,” he added.  “Also, I think that making our philanthropy public can provide spillover benefits for �ֲ���ý by creating a demonstration effect. I’m confident that there are many others willing to give back to �ֲ���ý for the education they received.”

A �ֲ���ý trustee emeritus, he was recognized in 2011 for his many contributions to the college with the creation of the Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service. Over the years, he has helped countless �ֲ���ý students and alumni navigate the business world and, among other outcomes, helped to launch the Boston �ֲ���ý Business Network.

The Stangle family’s philanthropy has included the Betty Doran Stangle Professorship in Applied Economics, named for Bruce’s mother and currently held by Professor Margaret Maurer-Fazio; a leadership gift that named, in his father’s memory, Frank’s Lounge in the student residence at 280 College St.; and the Stangle Family Fund to support research and awards in economics and law, and provide scholarship support for students.

During his campus visit on March 5 for the Voices in Entrepreneurship Series — a program that he helped to organize — Stangle sat down with students one-on-one for a series of informational interviews, dispensing career advice and encouraging mentees to lean on the �ֲ���ý network.

In the evening, he gave a talk on “Best in Class: Investing in People and Culture at a Top Consulting Firm.”

Regularly named one of the by The Boston Globe and other media outlets, Analysis Group gets high praise for maintaining a work culture that prizes both collaboration and leadership, without putting the two at odds.

That culture, Stangle says, was imported straight from �ֲ���ý.

“�ֲ���ý entrepreneurs know how to create good work environments because it matters to us how we motivate, reward and incentivize people,” he said.

“The �ֲ���ý culture produces people with the ability to lead, take personal responsibility and work as a team, and those personal characteristics are what my firm also tries to encourage.”

He added that the �ֲ���ý culture “made an imprint on me, as I know it has on so many other alumni. The values around hard work, inclusion, caring and excellence have been with me my entire life because of the experiences I had at �ֲ���ý and continue to have with the wider �ֲ���ý community.”
